 When a user is logged in, the ``header`` block adds a link to the
 ``create`` view. When the user is the author of a post, they'll see an
-"Edit" link to the ``update`` view for that post. ``loop.last`` is a
+"Edit" link to the ``update`` view for that post. The ``|int()`` invocations
+are `Jinja filters`_ that are used to cast both operands of the comparison
+operation (``==``) to integers prior to evaluating the comparison. ``loop.last`` is a
 special variable available inside `Jinja for loops`_. It's used to
 display a line after each post except the last one, to visually separate
 them.
